After a harrowing few months without a publisher, the Silent Hill and Resident Evil-inspired retro horror game Heartworm is back and better than ever, and it has a fresh 2025 release window.
For some background, Heartworm first shot to the top of my list of most anticipated upcoming horror games when its demo launched as part of the 2020 edition of the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc compilation of love letters to late-90s horror. It's blatantly inspired by classics of the genre, with tank controls, a fixed-camera perspective, and a tragedy-stricken protagonist, but it's just such an authentic and well-made amalgam of horror greats from my childhood that I just couldn't help falling in love.
